(8 pp) Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky , one of
the most important innovators in modern art, played
a pivotal role in the development of abstract art;
some call him the father of abstract art.
Consequently, Kadinsky also influenced abstract
expressionism, a painting style of the late 1940s
and 1950s in which abstract or nonobjective forms
were used to convey emotional content. Abstract
Expressionism emphasized spontaneity and often
employed bold colors and/or strong value contrasts;
the paintings were usually quite large in scale.
Because this art often involved energetic physical
movement by the artist, it is also referred to as
action painting. Bibliography lists 5 sources,
including 2 visuals.
